Title: Bottlehead + Speedball Source
Post by: barontan2418 on February 07, 2016, 05:28:16 AM

Hello to all. New to the forum and already have a question. Just ordered the Bottlehead + Speedball and want to use my AK 120 as its source and not the normal set-up using PC. Is there going to be any issues using this set-up? Will be using Sennheiser HD650 headphones. I guess I will need an adapter cable to plug into the AK120. I'm moving up from the Objective 2 amp which is the only one I have ever used so should see improvements hopefully. Many thanks for any advice you might have.

Welcome.
I have a similar setup with an Ibasso DX90 as source. Crack+ Speedball. HD580s modded.
Works a charm, just have a line out plug which fits Your player and dual mono RCA plugs in the Crack end of Your audio cable and You're good to go.

I have this

Many thanks for getting back to me. So it seems on on my way. Do you remember were you got the RCA cable from? I'm looking on the net but they all seem rather cheap and yours looks good.

Yes, this one is a Forza Audioworks.
I have bought cables for my headphones and transports there.
All Very well engineered and a very friendly person too.
